What do we think ahead of this weekend then Arabs? I'm a wee bit confident actually, they're on a bit of a dip right now, although their away form is still really impressive.
Hopefully Gunning will be back and Kenneth will be dropped again, playing from the heart is never really a substitute for actually playing football...
According to the BBC website Swanson could be fit for a start. Who would drop out to accommodate that?
Thoughts?

If everyone was fit this is the team I would like to see.
Pernis
Watson RB
Dixon LB
Gunning CB
Dillon CB
Armstrong RM
Rankin CM
Swanson CM
GMS LM
Russell CF
Daly CF
I am aware that Watson is not fit but that's the team I would like to see. Standard 4-4-2 formation. Plenty creativity with GMS and Swanny playing in a central position. Two forwards with Russell working close to Daly for flicks and knock downs.
Thoughts?

Really attacking - I like it. I suppose if I was going to tinker with it at all I would put Dillon at rb and Narey cb. Or is that just too far? Seriously though, Neilsen and Watson - not too quick, not great going forward, always look slightly touch and go position wise and tackling, I don't think either is a liability or a bad player, just nothing exciting compared to our options on the left!

Starting line up looks good, motherwell are on a bit of a bad run and lets hope that continues till at least sunday!! I'm optimistic we can win it and if we want to be in europe next year its the sort of game we have to win. Although were closer to 3rd than we were this time last season but there is a lot more teams in contention, hope we finish the season strong and pump them weegies out the cup.

Motherwell, st johnstone and hearts all away tomorrow, st johnstone to hibs and hearts to ICT who have both been playing better recently, 3 home wins threre will be just fine, should tighten things up for 3rd just fine

My ideal starting line-up would be:
------------------------------Pernis---------------------------
Watson---------Dillon------------Gunning----------Dixon
Swanson------Armstrong------Rankin------------GMS
------------------Daly--------------Russell------------
Have to have Swanson wide right. He is the only natural player for that position. That has been our downfall this season and last season when Swanson not available.

I suspect Swanson won't start, although hopefully we will see him make a cameo and have an impact on the game.
Thankfully we've now got GMS to entertain us so we'll undoubtedly win comfortably.

Totally agree with that team Arabs4ever. Would love to see that asap, I think that's our best chance of a victory at Ibrox next month.
Looking forward to tomorrow and hoping we can start to pick up some home wins. It has certainly been a while since the disappointment of Aberdeen and if we want Europe we need to pick up more points at home.
